Package: vlan (2.0.5 nmu3)

ifupdown legacy integration for vlan configuration

This package contains legacy integration scripts for configuring vlan interfaces via ifupdown (/etc/network/interfaces). For further details see vlan-interfaces(5) man page in this package.

Please note that this package is not necessary for most VLAN use cases with ifupdown. You only need to install it if you need to support the legacy VLAN naming scheme (vlan0001) or the following extra features it provides:

 * vlan‐raw‐device
 * ip‐proxy‐arp
 * ip‐rp‐filter
 * hw‐mac‐address

It currently also ships a wrapper script for backwards compatibility called vconfig, that replaces the old deprecated vconfig program with translations to ip(route2) commands. This compatibility shim might be dropped in future releases, please use ip(route2) commands directly.
